This Web site is designed for composition faculty whose professional lives focus on computer technology. It provides multiple perspectives on the ways others—especially department chairs and members of tenure and promotion committees—may see and evaluate work with technology.

This site outlines five fictional tenure and promotion cases of composition faculty who work with computer technology—addressing their contributions in the area of teaching, scholarship, and service.

Linked to each case are the comments of real department chairs, deans, and personnel committee chairs, writing anonymously and frankly about how the case would be evaluated at their institutions. We have tried to include assessments from individuals at a wide range of institutions, so that the site is useful to as many faculty members as possible.
